Scientific Applications in Modern Toxicology

This course familiarizes students with the novel concepts being used to revamp regulatory toxicology in response to a breakthrough National Research Council Report “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy.” We present the latest developments in the field of toxicology—the shift from animal testing toward human relevant, high content, high-throughput integrative testing strategies. Active programs from EPA, NIH, and the global scientific community illustrate the dynamics of safety sciences

• Understand modern concepts transforming toxicology
• Recognize advanced safety and assessment strategies
• Comprehend shift to human-relevant toxicity testing

• Basic familiarity with relevant terminology
• Readiness for applied exercises or case studies
